Chapter 188 The Scholar
Autumn is rainy, just as Qu Lingyin thought, after a while, the sky darkened, and the drizzle fell from the sky, splashing small water circles in the water, and the fish food had been looted. The groups of brightly colored koi dispersed after a while.
Qu Lingyin looked at the water surface without saying a word, and Qin Zhengyu stood behind her and watched the water surface with her, but also said nothing.
After a while, the sky became darker, Qin Zhengyu sighed, and then said:
"The weather is getting colder, junior sister, let me take you back."
After Qin Zhengyu sent Qu Lingyin back to the small courtyard, he left in a hurry. Qu Lingyin knew that he was very busy during this time.
Qu Lingyin was sitting in the room. Since it was raining and it was dark, a few candles were lit in the room. The candles emitted warm light, casting a layer of warmth on everything in front of her eyes.
Qu Lingyin sat in front of the mirror, carefully scrutinized the mirror's face that had not changed in ten years, and slowly stroked her face with five fingers: her skin was as smooth as ever, just like the most beautiful years of middle age.If no one said it, who would believe that she was no longer a girl?
In the past ten years, Zhu Chongxiao has repeatedly hinted that it is time for her to get married, and mentioned Qin Zhengyu many times, but she ignored it. After many times, Zhu Chongxiao also gave up and never mentioned her marriage again.They still seldom meet each other, and during those rare meetings, she only remembered his expressionless face, and that sentence that seemed to take a long time to think before he said:
"Yuyan, you have to carefully consider your marriage. If... I'm still here."
Since then, he never asked her about her marriage, as if everything went according to her wishes, he just reminded her:
Be cautious when looking at people, and even more cautious when getting married.If you don't meet the right person, he is still there, so don't worry too much.
To be honest, she never felt that she and Zhu Chongxiao were father and daughter, and in order to avoid embarrassment, they rarely met each other.However, time can change everything. After staying in Changge for a long time, she can probably see some of Zhu Chongxiao's thoughts, and through his expressionless face, she can see the loneliness in his heart and what he is trying to make up for.
Qu Lingyin took the jade pendant hanging around her waist and looked at it carefully, her fingertips touched the outline of the word "Ping An".After so long in the past, she already knew that this jade pendant was given by Zhu Chongxiao, and she probably borrowed Qin Zhengyu's name because she was afraid that she would not accept it.
The texture of the jade is cold, like that person's cold expression that has not changed all year round.
Qu Lingyin looked at the jade pendant in her hand for a moment with an inexplicable expression, and then carefully put it back on her waist.
——"Chang'an was broken, and everyone's whereabouts are unknown."
Qin Zhengyu's words echoed in her mind.
She subconsciously remembered the dream she had many years ago. In the dream, there was a ruined wall, gray and black smoke in the sky, and a jade pendant that was broken in half.Is the person whom the dreamer has been looking for alive or dead?No way of knowing.
The sound of the rain outside the house gradually died down, and red leaves fell all over the courtyard.
Qu Lingyin blew out the candles in the room, took off the well-made long song dress on her body, and then opened the closet to take out an ordinary Jianghu girl's clothes to change into.After changing her clothes, Qu Lingyin turned her eyes to the qin on the table. She took out the sword hidden in the qin and looked at it: the sword body is flexible and sharp, and it does not feel dull at all due to the passage of time. It is a bright sword. Her body reflected her indistinguishable eyes.
After hiding the sword in the qin in the qin again, Qu Lingyin carried the qin on her back. When she was about to step out of the room, she seemed to remember something, put the qin down again and put it in the system backpack. Hanging in the middle is the silver flute from many years ago.
The rain has stopped, the sky is getting late, and the western sky has begun to be covered with beautiful clouds.
A long-song man in Tsing Yi is carrying a qin and talking to a woman dressed in a long-song:
"There has been no news from Master and others. I plan to go to Chang'an to find out the news. Junior Sister will ask Junior Sister Zhou to take care of you first."
The beautiful Changge woman just thought for a moment and said:
"Then senior brother, you should be more careful, Zhu senior sister will leave it to me first."
She didn't dissuade Qin Zhengyu, because she was also worried about the situation in Chang'an.Now that Chang'an is occupied by the rebels, there is very little news from the city, and I don't know what happened to Uncle Zhu and the others?Whether it is life or death, there must be a result after all.
Qin Zhengyu smiled at her, thanked her, then turned around and walked towards the docked boat.He did not say goodbye to Qu Lingyin, because he, like his master, hoped that Qu Lingyin would stay in Changge, at least for now it is safe here.
If he went to say goodbye, if his junior sister wanted to go with him, how would he refuse?
So, let's go quietly like this.
The boat moved slowly on the calm water surface, and two shallow water waves were drawn on the water surface. As the boat moved further and further away, the water waves became weaker and weaker.Standing on the shore, Zhou Yufei watched Qin Zhengyu's leaving back, and could only sigh slightly, wishing him safe in her heart.
It wasn't until the figure on the water was too small that Zhou Yufei turned and left.
It's time for her to see Senior Sister Zhu. Uncle Zhu has an accident, and she doesn't know how Senior Sister Zhu is feeling?Don't dare to do it, it won't be very good after all.
The small courtyard was quiet, except for the sound of raindrops on the leaves falling on the ground, and no one cleaned up the red leaves that were blown down by the wind and rain, leaving them to spread layer after layer on the ground.
"Congratulations, sister?"
Zhou Yufei stepped into the courtyard, frowning slightly: She always felt that the courtyard seemed too quiet.
After she called out, no one answered.So Zhou Yufei came to the door, knocked on the door, and continued calling a few times:
"Sister Zhu? Are you there?"
The room was dark, there was no light, and no one answered.
A certain thought suddenly rose in Zhou Yufei's heart:
"Senior Sister? Yu Fei was rude."
She pushed open the door hard, and the scenery in the room was unobstructed:
A long song dress was neatly placed on the bed, the piano that was usually placed on the table was gone, and the candle beside it had long been burned out...
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yufei knew that Qu Lingyin had already left, and she could probably guess her whereabouts:
She went to Chang'an.
Uncle Zhu had an accident, how could Senior Sister Zhu not respond?
Zhou Yufei looked at the empty room with some helplessness, and could only sigh and hope that Qin Zhengyu would meet Qu Lingyin on the road. Anyway, it is much safer for two people to go together than to go alone, especially in this troubled world. The senior sister has that face again.
The war broke out in Chang'an.
In a private house not far from the city, two men and a woman seemed to be arguing about something.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Miss Xiaoyu is still so 'kind-hearted'."
The man who spoke was a man dressed as a scholar. He had an extremely handsome face, his complexion was slightly pale, and he looked a little sick.When he said this, there was a smile on his face, but his tone was unspeakably ironic.
"Joy, you..."
This time it was a man dressed as Miao Jiang who spoke out, but he was interrupted by the Miao woman beside him before he finished speaking:
"I can't watch them being arrested and ignore them. If the Spike Army finds this place...Joy, you can go, and we will bear the consequences."
After saying this, she glanced at the man beside her, and then held her hand.After the Candle Dragon Palace, she married Alan, and it has been nearly ten years now.When the war broke out, although the Five Poisons were far away in Miaojiang, the leader Qu Yun also saw that the situation after the wolf tooth became powerful was not good for them, so he sent disciples to support Chang'an along with the other sects.She and Alang were among the disciples sent.
The Tang Dynasty was weak, Tiance was slaughtered, and the troops from other places did not have time to rush to Chang'an. Only relying on the city defenders and the disciples of the various sects, it was only a little longer, and Chang'an still could not be changed after all. The fate of being occupied by rebels.
Chang'an was destroyed, and the disciples of the various sects were killed or injured, some fled desperately, and some were captured by the rebels.She and Alan met Joey on the way to escape.
At that time, the rebels were chasing them, and they fled separately from Wudu's other companions. In the woods outside the city, they saw Joey dressed as a Han scholar.
Seriously speaking, Xiaoyu and Alan didn't recognize Joey because they were eager to escape and Joey had changed a lot.But when they ran past the scholar, the scholar laughed out loud:
"I haven't seen you for many years, Senior Sister Xiaoyu, why are you in such a mess?"
After that, things became logical, Joey rescued them, and he took them to a remote place outside Chang'an City, where there was a bungalow.Alan didn't believe Joey at first, because Tianyi and Wudu are now enemies since they split, and no matter how close they were, they are now in opposite directions.Just like Ah Yin and her.
Xiaoyu thought back to when she was a child, Qu Lingyin would often come to her to ask her about Gu skills and ask her about all kinds of weird stories; while in the Candle Dragon Palace, Qu Lingyin stopped everyone in front of her without mercy. imprinted in her mind.
Look, Tianyi and Wudu will always be like this.What about siblings?
——【Senior Sister Xiaoyu, do you know life-sustaining Gu? 】
——[Ayin, do you want to raise life-sustaining Gu?Holding things is thankless, you should raise Phoenix Gu with peace of mind. 】
…………
——【Ayin, your face? !Who did it?Tell Senior Sister, Senior Sister will help you kill him! 】
——[It's not a big problem, it will be fine in a few days.Senior sister Xiaoyu and senior brother Alang, don't worry!I will go to see the master first. 】
--【Hello!Ayin, come back to me!Isn't the wound on the face a big problem? 】
…………
——【Senior Sister Xiaoyu, when will you and Brother Alang get married? 】
——【Guess, don't worry, I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet then!By the way, what about you?When did you get married? 】
——【Ah... Me?There is no suitable person for this yet, so it's too early to talk about it. 】
——[It's too early, if you like it, you should start early!Come on, Ah Yin told the senior sister, who do you fancy?If you don't like anyone, how about a senior sister recommending someone to you? 】
——[Hehehehe, senior sister, forget it. 】
——[Hey hey!Don't go, I'm definitely recommending someone you're familiar with, what do you think of Xiaoyi?Hello, Yin!Really, run away again! 】
…………
When they were teenagers, no one thought that they would take two completely different paths, just like no one thought that the five immortals would split.
She and Alan were on the side of the right elder, and Joey and A Yin were on the side of the left elder.
I agreed to invite you to a wedding banquet, but it turned out to be just a nonsense in my youth that would never come true.
"So, Joey, what are you thinking about Tianyi?"
After Xiaoyu treated the wound on her body briefly, she raised her face and stared at the young man dressed as a scholar with piercing eyes.
Time seemed to stand still on him. Ten years later, his appearance was still the same as that of Candle Dragon Palace, but his temperament was better at hiding.
The man who looked like a scholar played with the flute at his waist, and there was an indistinguishable smile on his lips:
"Senior Sister Xiaoyu, no matter how you say it, we grew up together. It is only my own wish to save you now. Don't make random guesses, I teach that only I still come here."
After the Candle Dragon Palace, Marceau didn't allow him to go to Qu Lingyin again, nor allowed him to go out easily.But for so many years, he is not without progress, how could he be stopped again and again.
He just wanted to see his senior sister.He also understood the master's plan, but he thought it would be better for the senior sister to follow them to Changge, so he wanted to cut off the connection between the senior sister and Tianyi.Unfortunately, he also belongs to this part of Tianyi, so as one of the connections with Tianyi, he will also be cut off, whether he wants to or not.
Joey knew that the master had always regarded them as his own, but if one looked deeper, the master actually favored the senior sisters more than him.Maybe it's because the senior sister's talent is not as high as his, or maybe it's the guilt of the Heaven's Absolute Gu seed in the senior sister's heart, or something else, since childhood, the master has always cared about the senior sister most.
It didn't matter to Joey, he didn't care about the fact that the master was more partial to the senior sister. Not only did he not care, but he felt that he deserved it: the senior sister should get more care.
However, because of this partiality, the master asked Chang Ge's people to take the senior sister away and ordered him not to see her.
Master, do you not care about my mood at all?
Or master, why are you so confident that it is better for senior sister to follow them?
Joey is not reconciled, really not reconciled, no matter what, it would be good for him to meet the senior sister.But Marceau, who used to be friendly in the past, suddenly became indifferent on this issue:
"You can't go out."
"First solve your physical problems, do you really think forbidden techniques are used casually?"
"Your appearance hasn't changed at all in recent years, haven't you noticed?"
…………
So what if there is no change?Body?He felt that he was very good, and everything was fine except that he missed his senior sister too much.
Finally, Marceau couldn't stop him.He ran out and rushed all the way in the direction of Changge.He knew that the senior sister was in Changge.
Changgemen is not easy to mix in, and his appearance is too conspicuous, so in the first year he can only wander outside Changgemen or Yangzhou and other places, hoping to meet his senior sister.
After that, he gradually learned the etiquette and behavior of the Central Plains people. He used special paint to cover the dark blue patterns under the corners of his eyes, and dressed himself up as a weak scholar.The Changge Book Market is open to the public every once in a while, and he also follows these scholars to the Changge Book Market, picking and choosing from various book stalls with them.
He was very lucky to meet his senior sister when he first went there.She was wearing a long song dress, and her temperament and image were quite different from before, but he still recognized her at a glance.In order to avoid being recognized, when Qu Lingyin's gaze swept over him, he often lowered his head and pretended to choose books.
Although very displeased with Master's decision, but sadly, Joey also felt that it would be better for Qu Lingyin to stay in Changge, especially after seeing her here.The scenery in Changge is beautiful, and there are people taking care of the senior sister. The resentment between her brows that seemed to never go away has disappeared without a trace. She looks calm and relaxed, which is very good.
That's fine.
Joey tried to persuade herself in her heart: Senior sister is doing well, and her senior brother took good care of her...
However, this kind of self-consolation will be completely occupied by the resentment and unwillingness in my heart in just a moment: Brother?Where did the senior sister come from, the senior brother?She obviously only has me as a younger brother.This guy who came out of nowhere is simply an eyesore, how hypocritical and hypocritical that kind of smile is!It makes people want to tear his face, the smile on his face.I can't stay by my senior sister's side, why can you?When he couldn't hold back his desire to do something, Joey left Changge.
He hasn't completely lost his mind yet, and he just thinks about killing Changge's disciples in Changge.
Every time the Changge Book Fair opens, he will come with hope, hoping to meet the person he misses so much.This state lasted for three years.
In the past three years, he has completely transformed from an original Miao person into a Han scholar, and he will read the books he bought from Changge for a while, just like that, as long as he thinks, his appearance and temperament are completely the same. The appearance of a sick and weak scholar, no one doubts the appearance of a scholar.
Just when he thought he would secretly watch his senior sister for the rest of his life, war broke out.
Each sect sent their own elite disciples to support Chang'an, and Changge was no exception.He happened to be there the day Changge's ship passed Yangzhou.
Changge's disciples were all in the cabin, but there was one person standing at the bow.
Unfortunately, he had seen that person.
Zhu Chongxiao is said to be the biological father of the senior sister.
Zhu Chongxiao to support Chang'an?What about the senior sister?Will senior sister also be on this boat?Will she go too?
Too worried, he followed this group of people to Chang'an.
After arriving in Chang'an, he found a remote bungalow outside the city and bought it.Because the war was about to break out, the owner of the family was in a hurry to flee, and the house was almost half-sold and half-given to him.
When the war broke out outside the city gate, they hid in the distance and watched coldly.Until a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision.
Those are the costumes of the Miao people, and the five poisons also participated in the battle?
Wudu is located in Miaojiang, far away from the Central Plains, why did Qu Yun guide Wudu to participate in the war in the Central Plains?
Don't you take the lives of many people seriously?Sure enough, she was a girl raised by the Han people, and she was completely partial to the Han people!
The war ended, the city of Chang'an was destroyed, the Spike Army was busy chasing the remnants of the Chang'an defenders, and the surviving disciples of various sects or fugitives were arrested.
Joey hid in the forest, looking coldly at the group of Spikes chasing the seedlings, his eyes full of malice:
Let me add something fun to your post-battle.
A low flute sounded, and thin snakes emerged from the body of the young man hiding behind the tree, and then swam towards the corpses hidden by the fallen leaves.
After a while, the Spike Army shouted from the battlefield that had long since ended:
"Ah! This guy is actually pretending to be dead, I got hit by a sword!"
"This man is alive again! What's going on?"
"Cheat, cheat corpse? Go and invite the great wizard!"
The Langya side was temporarily in chaos, and they were cautiously guarding against the corpses on the ground, but they were not so active in hunting down those who escaped.
Two Miao people were running towards him. Looking at the familiar figures of a man and a woman, Joey thought for a while, and finally decided to save them.
Senior sister Xiaoyu, senior brother Alang, long time no see.
After all, we grew up together.
Although they each believe in different morals, the friendship in the past is not fake after all.
The author has something to say:
Marceau is really worried about Brother Du not letting him run around, and it is also true to let him deal with his physical problems.
Du Ge's new image hahahahaha, the image of a scholar.By the way, Brother Du is currently around 26,27 or [-], and his age is just right hahahahahaha, although his appearance has remained the same.
Necromancer, come on, poison brother!
By the way, that Senior Sister Xiaoyu, probably no one remembers it, appeared in the first Curly Lingyin was scratched by Tang Wuye back to the Five Poisons, and in the memory of projecting Qulingyin, asked about life-sustaining Gu There is also her in the memory.
She and Qu Lingyin (projection) were childhood playmates, but when they grew up, one sided with Alley and the other sided with Marceau.
